Pedestrian bumper cars is fun ;) Some people used to say the objective was to dodgem.

Carney has now said interest rates will be more dependant on wage growth.

Surely it's not up to Celtic - they'd probably be punished if they made any offer. FIFA and UEFA can be quite nasty.

Worth noting - It's not really fit for men (especially) to talk to or confront teenagers - for precisely the reason that they are still children. So most men are never going to confront or talk to these guys.

Maybe he sees himself as that :) Stood right next to him on Rye lane on Saturday - he whistled at 2 girls and shouted 'right darling' in a real Delboy accent then asked a friend (never seen before) 'what's appening' - the reply 'nothing'. So true.

They turn on those who befriend them - seen that so many times ?? Don't bother, act mean, give them the SE15 frown. Then silently drum them out - through the gentrification process - and before you know it they've been forced to change. Edit: because the bad gangs have gone - gentrified out since the riots when society came down on them. aquarius moon Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > You may be surprised to learn that I have actually > visited a playground. > > I used to take my children there all the time on > the council estate where they were brought up. > (Not that long ago) > > Where the 14/15 year old wannabe gangsters all > hung out because they had nowhere better to go. > They were rude, abusive & threatening.

He whistled before he killed drug dealers and stole their swag. Had two tunes IIRC That was Omar's vocation :)

To be honest you probably get more bang for your bucks going through the school if you want rid.

They all had a bar and a lounge You stood in the bar and it was mainly male and smoky You sat in the lounge and it was mixed and smoky Sometimes there was another room.

Why do Scottish politicians continue to say they are voting to break with England. Relations with Wales and NI stay do they ?

No, its the new series of the apprentice. That was Lord Sugars assistant in the car.

He certainly is accessorizing this year. He had a sofa last week.

This time of there life is the one time they have time to do things It all goes downhill in terms of time from then. Take a risk and do something would be me speaking to my younger self.

so the ones that take interest would be like us ? They can't get here without WARP anyway

They like it if you've had a pint or two apparently. Makes you ore compliant.
